New Trump Ad Distorts Harris's Words To Attack Fake Immigration Plan

A recent advertisement from former President Donald Trump's campaign has come under scrutiny for using an edited quote to falsely accuse Vice President Kamala Harris of supporting an immigration policy that does not exist. The ad appears to have selectively edited a statement from Harris, distorting its meaning to suggest that she proposed opening the U.S. border to immigrants from around the world, a policy she has not advocated.

According to CNN, the ad includes a narrator stating, "Attention seniors: Kamala Harris has promised amnesty for the 10 million illegals she allowed in as border czar, making them eligible for Social Security. Studies warn this will lead to cuts in your Social Security benefits." Additionally, a quote displayed on-screen, attributed to the Center for Immigration Studies—a group advocating for reduced immigration—reads: "Harris' amnesty imposes large cost on Social Security."
